STILL IMPROVING !

The passer.by cannot help seeing
that our house is slightly "out of
order" caused by our having an extra
door Tut in on the Seventh.street
side for the better accommodation of
the public. Our first floor alone is
temporarily affected, aud the other
floors are easy Of access by elevator
and stairway. Our patrons shall not
be Inconvenience In the least; they
will find everything In perfect order In
the different departments. We are
daily adding to the bargain lots to be
found on our counters. Our plan is,
the moment line of suits or overcoats
gets broken In sizes, 1. c. when two or

An ordnance yard is to be at once made
by throwing a roof over the street dividing
the machine and anchor shops at the Navy
Yard and connecting them all. The roof
will he 20 feet high, and when completed
the shop will be 400 feet long by 800 feet
wide. Large cranes will be erected for lift

appointed to inquire into the needs of the

Fall Oats-Wheat.

If one proposes to SOW oats this
autumn it is none too early to pres
pare for 1t. Ia the first place prop
er seed must be procured. 1t is of
first Importance to sow seed from
crops which hsve been cOntin uous!y
seeded down in the fall for several
years. Seed from spring oats is not
suitable for fall sowing. There is 20
question that plants acquire a Ger,
tain adaptation to seasons and cir
cumstanceS. Fall sown oats get the
habit of growing through a longer
period of time-of tillering more; OF
resisting cold better. Those plants
that are feeble or unable to stand
severe cold get killed-those with
opposite qualities survive and trans
init their characteristics to their pro.
geny. Thus a race of winter oats
become established. In like manner
spring oats acquire the habit of ma
turing in shorter period of time
of withstanding hot weather-jus
